The Chinaman, His White Wife, and
Jerry Claiborne, Colored. Fined.
Nashville Banner.

Nashville Banner.
II seems that the persecution of the
Chinese race Is not confined to the
hoodlums of San Francisco. The
case in the city court mentioned in
yesterdays Banner, in which Wah
Hing, Sam Wah, Wah Lee, or Wah
Hee, whichever my be his name,
was on trial for assaulting a little
colored boy, who had been teasing
him, and Jerry Claiborne, q young
colOred man, who demonstrated with
him, was disposed of to-day. The
Chinaman was finel SO, his white
wife, who came to his assistance with
a butcher-knife while he was attack
ing Claiborne, was fined IS, and
Claiborne was fined IS for language
calculated to provoke breach of the
peace. Judge John ID. Brien was
cousel for the Chinaman and his
wife, and s. j. Henderson, Esq, was
counsel for Cleiborne and the other
negro parties i'm the case.
Mr.. Brien in his.remarks spoke OF
the annoyance to which the Cninaman
was subjected by boys while he was
quietly attending to his business.
Judge Bell, reviewing the testi-
mony, said that he had no doubt that
the Chinaman had been greatly an
noyed by the conduct of the boys,
but had he exercised the same energy
in looking for a policeman as he did
in taking the law into his own hands
the difficulty would have been
avoided.
The proof showed that the China
man had taken the boys hat away.
The defense was that he had taken
the hat in order to bring the boys
mother to the shop where he might
tell her what had occurred.
Wah Lee was married to his wife
about four years ago in Louisville.
She was in court this morning with
her eighteen months old baby,
George, i'm her arms. She is quite q
good looking young woman, with
fair complexion and blue eyes. The
baby, the result of this singular
union, has dark eyes, little less
almond-shaped than his fathers, a
complexion almost as white as that
of most Caucasians, and soft dark
brown hair. There seems to be some
confusion as to his name. The war.
rant for his arrest has it "Sam Wah, y
his lawyer calls him "Wah Lee,''
while Officer Dick Reed says his
name is Wah Hee.

Death at Wartrace.
Pulaski Citizen.

Euihbkt tlttAtu-
Monday last was quite q day near
Wartrace. Near the town a colored
picnic was going on and a large num-
Der of c0l0red people were present to
enjoy 1t. Among the number were
Grant pepper and Robert Clark who
retired short distance from the pic
mic grounds for the purpose of hav-
ing game Of cards while thus en-
gagged quarrel arose during which
Pepper struck Clark on the back of
the head with piece of timber in
juring him so badly that he died
within few hours. Pepper fled but
at last accounts large posse. of
negroes were on his track deter
mined to captured him. Duputy
Sheriff Shriver with a posse was also
after him but at last accounts he had
not been found.
Still another sad occurrence took
place about the same time. A rain
and thunder storm came up and
while it prevailed Abe Smith and
Jim Cannon both colored took refuge
under an elm tree near the grounds.
While there both were striken down
by lightning. Smith was killed in
stantly but at last accounts Cannon,
though badly hurt, was still alive. 1t
is not thought, however, that he will
recover. The tree under which they
stood was not injured in the slight
est by the deadly stroke. This was
somewhat singular. Smiths re-
mains were brought down on the
evening train to his residence mile
or so out on the railroad and were
buried Tuesday.

An explosion Of giant powder took
place at about eight o'clock Wednesday
morning, in Murphy a Sons driving
camp on the Nett river, about thirty
miles from here, 10y which seven men
were more or less injured none fatally,
il il thought, and one end Of the camp
blown to atoms. Those injured are:
Joseph Archibald, cut about face and
head and hip badly bruised; August
Brasch, leg broken and ankel out OF
Joint; John Good, face, head and hands
burned and considerably bruised other
Wise Joseph Weisoman, struck by flying
timber and internally injured; George
Bell, injured internally; John Currln,
foreman, face cut and leg badly burned;
William IIornbroor, also burned and
received bruises. Theexplosion occurred
in building about sixteen feet square,
adjoining the Cooks shanty," and John
Good, Joe Weiseman and Geo. Bell were
in il az the time, and il is truly mys-
terry that they were not killed outright.
Good was thrown "A distance of twenty
feet and when picked up il was found
that his overalls had been blown off
from the thigh down, but his under cloth
ing and legs were wholly uninjurcd. A
man was at once dispatched to town for
medical assistance and returncdwith DR..
Metcalf Murphy and Son took up a
crew Of drivers last week TO drive the
Nett river but found that the logs were
frozen so firmly in the pond above the
dam that il would bc necessary to cut n
channel through and Co do this required
the use Of giantpowder. The place where
the explosion took place was used as n
sleeping apartment and contained ~
stove, on which some powder was being
thawcd, ON table in the same room and
near the stove lay sixteen loaded sticks
Of powder and it is supposed that in
some way the powder ON the stove caught
fire and that the fuse from the loaded
powder caught from this and exploded
one load which, Of course, caused the
remaining sticks-twenty-iive in number
to explode IL does not seem possible
that three men in an apartment sixteen
feet square could possibly live through
an explosion OF twenty-five sticks Of
giant powder in the same room, but
Good, Weiseman and Bell, were in the
room when il occurred and are still alive
Co tell OF it. The evening previous four
cases OF powder was removed from this
room. Had il not been there is little
doubt but that every man Of the forty
five in the crew would have been killed.
All OF the injured men are residents OF
Oconto and two 81 them have been taken
TO their homes.

Safety of Railway Travelling.

Nearly seven hundred millions Of
passengers travelled on railways In
Great Britain last year. and Of these
eight were killed and 815 were injured
In what are commonly called
railway accidents. Many other per-
sons not in the employ Of tho railway
companies were killed orinjured by ac-
cidents connected with tho railway
service, such as falling between car
riagcs and platforms and the like; but,
including servants of tho companies,
the total number Of deaths from causes
incident to railway travelling were only
a trifle over 500. and Of injuries only
about 1900. Considering that these
numbers include great many causali-
ties duo to neglect of woll.known pre-
cautions, We may conclude. that, MS re-
gard passengers and tho public, rail-
way travelling Is the safest mode Of
locomotlon. London Lancet af

with tho French people, who are au-
thorities in tho matter Of homely
women, that no woman can be homely
who has pretty teeth. This Is an Inn
portant idea to the homely girl II she
happens to have sound and regular
tooth, lot her sacrifice every thing to
the one object Of making her mouth
pure and wholesome, II not positively
handsome II she is successful In that,
she may triumph over the disadvan-
tagos of irregular features. Tho Same
thing is ofton accomplished by extra
attention to tho hair, aud often still by
paying attention TO a iino or passable
figure, and setting It OF by noat
and tasteful dress. Then the samo
thing Is still often Effected by
the cultivation Of certain hab-
its Of mind and traits Of character.
She should never appear conscious
that she is homely, for solf-conscious-
ness makes even pretty woman
hidcous. Above oil things she should
cultivate o cheerful. happy disposi-
tion. i would by no means insinuate
TINT woman's sole object should be
to please tho other sex. but II Is true,
